Apple watch cellular with carriers in different country

Hi, there. I am wondering if my apple watch can still work with different carriers (in the same model) in another country as I am going back to my home country soon and need to change carriers.

There are 2 Apple Watch cellular radios

• Canada, U.S. Mexico, Puerto Rico

• The rest of the world

Carriers will not attempt to connect to an Apple Watch that does not use the correct radio.


If you do not get your Apple Watch in your own country, you may have to return the Apple Watch to the country where purchased to get warranty service.


If you do not get your Apple Watch in your own country, there may be country specific restrictions in the installed Apple Watch software that prevent features from working when you get home.
